Love this player spotlight clip of Team Israel's Carlos Lequerica (@carloslequerica) produced by Kaylah Owens of the @wmwhitecaps. Carlos talks about what it meant to represent Israel and the experience of playing in the World Baseball Classic back home in Miami.

“Great locker room guy, he’s a great guy behind the plate, he’s just a competitor… he’s a one-of-a-kind athlete.” Being the first Orthodox Jew to play Division I @NCAABaseball has come with challenges for Elie Kligman, but his teammates and coaches have embraced and supported him every step of the way 💙 At The Plate x @umichbaseball

Back by popular request! ✡⚾ A handy list of baseball teams hosting a Jewish Heritage Night or Community Celebration of some kind during the 2026 season. Plus some of the cooler ticket package giveaways that I found from the Tigers, Giants, and Padres.

With today being Passover at the Park, fans who bought the ticket package were given these sick hats! Additionally, @chabadstadium is in site providing a full Kosher for Passover menu! I have partaken in their fries... #FightinFish

Gotta assume it's the first time in Yankees history, or any team's history for that matter, that the first two pitchers of their season are Jewish. So cool!
Gotta assume Max Fried is the first Jewish pitcher to start on Opening Day for the Yankees, right?

Including Team USA, 16 of the 20 World Baseball Classic teams have at least one USA-born player on their roster. (Exceptions are Cuba, Australia, Japan, and Venezuela) This is publicly accessible information on MLB.com for anyone who isn't focused on making ridiculous, factually inaccurate claims about Jewish people.
Kevin Youkilis, a former MLB All-Star and 2x World Series champ, decided to coach for Team Israel over Team USA in this year's World Baseball Classic, even though he was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has never lived in Israel. This is a perfect example of where Jewish people’s loyalty really lies, because it’s certainly not with America.

Team Israel is leading 2-1 if you only count the innings that the Orthodox Jews have been in attendance for. I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them.

With that pitch, Ari becomes the 1st sabbath observant orthodox Jewish pitcher in @ncaa Division I ⚾️ history! And the 2nd player, following his big brother. Worked hard to get here. Many said could never be done. Thank you @SacStBaseball for the opportunity. #nocompromises

From Kibbutz Gezer in Israel to the head pitching coach of one of 30 MLB teams. @alonleichman2 is paving new paths for Israel Baseball. What a special moment! 🇮🇱⚾
Per reports, the Colorado Rockies have hired Alon Leichman to be their head pitching coach. Leichman was Miami’s assistant pitching coach during the 2025 season and handled the pitch calling from the dugout Miami is searching for his replacement.
